made addresses to the number OF depu-
ties who congregated outside the cham
Der. advocating the election of NJ. Sadi
CarnOt, thereby uniting all republican
votes. Several deputies rrjoined that
it would be the first time majority had
lowered to the will of the minority, and
added that the attitude of NJ. Brisson
and Sadi CarnOt was unworthy of the
republicans. They urged them to with
draw in favor of NJ. De Freycinet, who,
after NJ. Ferry, had obtained the most
votes.

POISONED BY A JOKE,
Imagination Makes Young Man
Very Sick at the Stomach.


A few days ago merchant at Halle
ton, Pa, took occasion to poison the mill
ION or more flies that had taken posses
sion of his place of business, and to that
end prepared some vermin poison and
placed It in a number of dishes about
the store. In the course of few hours
the flies became thinned out and the
dishes were put away for FIXTURE use.
Yesterday an agent entered the store
and wished to sell the merchant a lot of
canned chicken, In making the sale he
proposed that the goods be sampled, and
requested one of the clerks to hand him
some dishes. The dishes were brought
forth and one of the clerks began the
sampling process, He pronounced the
chicken a prime article, and highly re-
commended the same. Judge his dis
may, however, when fellow clerk adj
viSed him that he had eaten from the
dishes which had been used in poison
ing the vermin. He became sick, death
ly sick, and fastened to get rid of the
obnoxious stuff. He washed and rinsed
out his mouth, requested that doctor
be sent for and fumed, fretted and wOr-
ried himself into very sick man. Fin
ally. taking pity upon his SufferingS, he
was informed that the dishes in use
were not the same that had been used
in poisoning the vermin and that they
had been joking him. From being
very sick man he became wrathy, mad
man and from the m amer in which he
acted it was thought a thunderstorm
was about to open upon this section. 1t
is not safe to mention chicken in that
locality at present
